Reconstitution of liver fluke (Dicrocoelium dendriticum) apo-hemoglobin with hemins selectively deuterated at specific positions has permitted the assignment of several heme resonances in the proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the Met-aquo and Met-cyano forms of the holoprotein. It was established that in the Met-aquo form the meso protons resonate at positions characteristic of a six-co-ordinated in-plane iron. From this, we deduced that the Met-aquo species retains a bound water molecule at pH values as low as 4.5. The orientation of the proximal histidine imidazole ring with respect to the heme group in the cavity was determined through the identification of the heme methyl signals and the analysis of the hyperfine shift pattern in the Met-cyano hemoglobin proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. Compared to sperm whale myoglobin, the heme appears to be rotated by 180 degrees about the alpha, gamma meso-axis. Protein isomers with the heme group in a reversed orientation were not detected, even shortly after reconstitution. In the Met-cyano form, the resonances most affected by the Bohr transition were shown to arise from the heme propionates. 相似文献

The heme methyl and vinyl alpha-proton signals have been assigned in low-spin ferric cyanide and azide ligated derivatives of the intact tetramer of hemoglobin A, as well as the isolated chains, by reconstituting the proteins with selectively deuterated hemins. For the hemoglobin cyanide tetramer, assignment to individual subunits was effected by forming hybrid hemoglobins possessing isotope-labeled hemins in only one type of subunit. The heme methyl contact shift pattern has 1-methyl and 5-methyl shifts furthest downfield in both chains and the individual subunits of the intact hemoglobin in both the cyanide- and azide-ligated species, which is consistent with a dominant rhombic perturbation due to the proximal His-F8 imidazole pi bonding in the known structure for human adult hemoglobin. The individual chain and subunit assignments confirm that the detailed electronic/magnetic properties of the heme pocket are essentially unaltered upon assembling the R-state tetramer from the isolated subunits. 相似文献

Background
Common structural biology methods (i.e., NMR and molecular dynamics) often produce ensembles of molecular structures. Consequently, averaging of 3D coordinates of molecular structures (proteins and RNA) is a frequent approach to obtain a consensus structure that is representative of the ensemble. However, when the structures are averaged, artifacts can result in unrealistic local geometries, including unphysical bond lengths and angles. 相似文献6.

We report a high-sensitivity cell secretome detection method using competitive immuno-aggregation and a micro-Coulter counter. A target cell secretome protein competes with anti-biotin-coated microparticles (MPs) to bind with a biotinylated antibody (Ab), causing decreased aggregation of the functionalized MPs and formation of a mixture of MPs and aggregates. In comparison, without the target cell secretome protein, more microparticles are functionalized, and more aggregates are formed. Thus, a decrease in the average volume of functionalized microparticles/aggregates indicates an increase in cell secretome concentration. This volume change is measured by the micro-Coulter counter, which is used to quantitatively estimate the cell secretome concentration. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), one of the key cell secretome proteins that regulate angiogenesis and vascular permeabilization, was used as the target protein to demonstrate the sensing principle. A standard calibration curve was generated by testing samples with various VEGF concentrations. A detection range from 0.01 ng/mL to 100.00 ng/mL was achieved. We further demonstrated the quantification of VEGF concentration in exogenous samples collected from the secretome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) at different incubation times. The results from the assay agree well with the results of a parallel enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) test, indicating the specificity and reliability of the competitive immuno-aggregation assay. With its simple structure and easy sample preparation, this assay not only enables high sensitivity detection of VEGF but also can be readily extended to other types of cell secretome analysis as long as the specific Ab is known. 相似文献

There is good evidence to show that ferric enterochelin is an essential growth factor for a number of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria exposed to the host iron binding proteins, transferrin and lactoferrin. Tests of nineteen complexes of enterochelin as potential antibacterial agents showed that only those containing either indium (In3+) or scandium (Sc3+) inhibited bacterial growth. In this study, further evidence is presented which demonstrates a competition between the Sc3+ and Fe3+ complexes. The uptake of both complexes is energy dependent and is also repressed in iron-replete cells. The Sc3+ complex accumulates within the cells at 20% of the rate of the Fe3+ complex. The main components of the ferric enterochelin transport system are required for the transport of the Sc3+ complex although some Sc3+ appears to enter the cell by another route. The accumulation, within the cell, of 14C-labelled enterochelin complexes depends on the growth medium. The relationship of the size of the metal ion to the biological activity of the complex is discussed and possible mechanisms of action of the Sc3+ complex are considered. 相似文献

Cytochrome b5 reconstituted with specifically deuterated hemins has led to the assignment of the resolved 6,7 beta-propionate protons and heme meso protons. Freshly reconstituted cytochrome b5 contains a mixture of two isomers in an approx. 1:1 ratio. As time proceeds the minor isomer decreases in intensity until the equilibrium ratio, approx. 8:1, of the two isomers is reached. The rate of the heme disorder kinetics was investigated for cytochrome b5 as a function of pH, oxidation state and 2,4 heme substitutents. Comparison of the kinetic data for cytochrome b5 with that obtained for other b-type heme proteins supports the proposal that the heme disorder arises from a 180 degree rotation of the heme about the alpha, gamma-meso axis. Computer-difference methods allow the spectra of the two individual isomers to be generated. Comparison of the NMR spectral parameters for the two individual isomers indicates small structural differences for amino acid side-chain orientations. 相似文献

We demonstrate the feasibility of using Drop-on-Demand microjet printing technology for fabricating imaging sensors by reproducibly printing an array of photo-polymerizable sensing elements, containing a pH sensitive indicator, on the surface of an optical fiber image guide. The reproducibility of the microjet printing process is excellent for microdot (i.e. micrometer-sized polymer) sensor diameter (92.2+/-2.2 microm), height (35.0+/-1.0 microm), and roundness (0.00072+/-0.00023). pH sensors were evaluated in terms of pH sensing ability (< or =2% sensor variation), response time, and hysteresis using a custom fluorescence imaging system. In addition, the microjet technique has distinct advantages over other fabrication methods, which are discussed in detail. 相似文献
